Re: about mysql 4.0.18

Another thing, that I've forgotten:

when I try to use mysql_install_db, I receive that:

observe# ./mysql_install_db --user=_mysql
Abort 
Abort 
Abort 
WARNING: The host 'observe.nesys.it' could not be looked up with resolveip.
This probably means that your libc libraries are not 100 % compatible with
this binary MySQL version. The MySQL daemon, mysqld, should work normally
with the exception that host name resolving will not work. This means that
you should use IP addresses instead of hostnames when specifying MySQL
privileges ! Preparing db table Preparing host table Preparing user table
Preparing func table Preparing tables_priv table Preparing columns_priv
table Installing all prepared tables Abort 
Installation of grant tables failed!

Examine the logs in /var/mysql for more information.
You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with: /usr/local/libexec/mysqld
--skip-grant & You can use the command line tool /usr/local/bin/mysql to
connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:

shell> /usr/local/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables

Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log gives you a
log in /var/mysql that may be helpful.

The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com Please consult the MySQL manual section: 'Problems
running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that describes problems on
your OS. Another information source is the MySQL email archive. Please check
all of the above before mailing us! And if you do mail us, you MUST use the
/usr/local/bin/mysqlbug script!


What is it?
Thanks
